| 1551 manual
I have an original English manual but it is almost exactly a reprint from the 1541 manual. The largest difference is that there is no reference to BASIC 2.0, all examples assume you have a BASIC 3.5 machine (which would be correct for this drive).
I was disappointed in the lack of (new) information in this book. It does not document the %R and %S commands, nor does it have any *corrected* information that was misprinted in the 1541 manual. (Commodore US was not famous for their documentation.)
I also have a photocopied German 1551 manual which is just a 1541 manual with a '1551' sticker next to the '1541', to make it look like the manual says '1541/1551'. Obviously there was nothing new there either.
If you have a ROM disassembly for the 1551, then you have more information than I do. Is there any way you would be willing to share that with us, or point us to a download site?
